Subtract 9 from both sides
8p = 17 - 3p - 9
Simplify 17 - 3p - 9 to -3p + 8
8p = -3p + 8
Add 3p to both sides
8p + 3p = 8
Simplify 8p + 3p to 11p
11p = 8
Divide both sides by 11
p = 8/11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9 + 8p = 17 - 3p
+3p +3p
9+11p=17
-9 -9
11p=8
p=8/11 and as a decimal it is 0.72
